Why is my puppy barely peeing?
Obstructions in your dog’s bladder or urethra can lead to urinary retention. These obstructions can be the result of bladder stones, urethral plugs, blood clots, a narrowing of the urethra (called stricture), or even cancerous tumors.

But they won’t manage that if their bladder is full.
